Private Sector Competitiveness Enhancement Program in Azerbaijan

The project's objective aligns with the government of Haiti's priorities to restore environmental services and support domestic and international efforts to improve food security and resilience. The project's scope encompasses a 5-year duration, targeting the Nord and Nord-Est Departments. The project's effectiveness survey objectives include establishing a quantitative baseline of household resilience capacities, correlating household data with community data, estimating the effectiveness of project environmental services to date, and providing evidence-based recommendations for current and future project management. The survey methodology involved collecting data from households and communities to assess the impact of the project's environmental services. The project's environmental services include tree production techniques, home garden production techniques, animal forage management techniques, bee keeping and honey production techniques, soil water retention and stabilization techniques, mangrove management techniques, and forest stabilization techniques. These services are designed to improve the resilience of targeted populations and restore environmental services in the Nord and Nord-Est Departments. The survey results indicate that awareness of the project's environmental services is high among the target population. However, access to these services varies across different communities, with some communities facing challenges in accessing the services. The utility of the services is also evident, with many households reporting improvements in food security and income. The project's implementation has been successful in promoting the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices among the target population. The survey results show that a significant number of households have adopted practices such as composting, crop rotation, and irrigation. The project's effectiveness in improving household resilience capacities and restoring environmental services is evident, and the survey results provide valuable insights for future project management and implementation.
